NV Lego technic Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 That is some kind of a truck, maybe a mini 42129? Quote
Timewhatistime Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 Looking at your posts within the last two months in this thread, I have to say that I would prefer a slight change in procedure: If you have something interesting (admittedly, you often had!) and you are willing to share it, then simply do it. We will look at it and appreciate it. But if you don't want to share it, then simply do not. Quote

We will look at it and appreciate it. But if you don't want to share it, then simply do not. I have creations that are finalized only on Studio and have not been actually tested. I need to order the parts and test build and go back to fix problems before actually revealing. There's a high chance that what I have on Studio is not the final version, and I don't wanna share something that is not finalized. The last time I did that was the mini 42113 and mini 42082, and I was not prepared for the massive headaches that followed. For the mini 42113, in the original design the landing gears didnt work reliably, and the rotor tilting barely worked at all. I felt quite ashamed of publicizing something that has not been tested to work reliably. And currently I have like 6-7 things waiting to be test built, so it might take a while.

Timewhatistime Posted December 1, 2024 Posted December 1, 2024 I still don't see the point in posting some random and vacuous tiny section of a MOC which isn't more than a draft and might be completed sometime in the far future (if at all). But others will, I hope. Quote

If it's posted in here, then its first design phase is already complete. There's already a complete creation and there's already an instruction file for it. I don't post things that might not be finalized. But I want the creation to be test built before officially revealing it. During that time some things might change, maybe minor, maybe major, hopefully not major. That means the final thing that is published might not be the same design right now, and in most case it isn't. That's why I don't want to share the full thing. Also it's just for a little bit of teasing for fun. Lately I only do mini replicas of official set, and it's not hard to deduce what I designed based on the snippets.

I've been having the idea of redesigning this set for quite a bit, and I'm excited to see what you'll do with it! Quote

I've been having the idea of redesigning this set for quite a bit, and I'm excited to see what you'll do with it! Despite being a tow truck, mini 42070 is a much harder challenge to solve than mini 42128. Since I want to preserve the rear pendular suspensions, the space for functions in the rear part is reduced. There's also the problem of what to do with the front axle. The most compact and legal design for an axle to be driveable and steerable involves the Mustang rim that turns its hollow side inside. In the original 42070 the wheels have yellow rings outside black dishes, but the Mustang rim is not available in yellow. Then there's the problem with the outriggers. There are no small scale equivalent of the telescopic gear racks. There are a couple of other things to be solved as well. Those reasons, together with the fact that I've just finished a tow truck, mean a mini 42070 is not gonna be finalized any time soon, or even in this year. Quote
